This paper describes a new solution for an articulated low-cost artificial neck with sensors to assess the effects of head impacts. This prototype is designed as a new solution to evaluate the neck's response after suffering the head impact. An overview of existing solutions is reported to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each one briefly. Problems and requirements for prototype design are outlined to guide to a solution with commercial components. A prototype is developed, and its operating performance is evaluated through a lab test. Several tests are worked out considering the biomechanics involved in the most common accidents of head-neck impacts. Results show a response on the prototype similar to an actual human neck. Future improvements are also outlined for better accurate responses considering the results from the lab test.
本文介绍了一种带有传感器的低成本关节式人工颈部新解决方案，用于评估头部撞击的影响。该原型被设计为一种新的解决方案，用于评估头部遭受撞击后颈部的反应。报告了现有解决方案的概述，以简要评估每种方案的优缺点。概述了原型设计的问题和要求，以指导采用商业组件的解决方案。开发了一个原型，并通过实验室测试评估其运行性能。考虑到最常见的头颈撞击事故中涉及的生物力学，制定了几项测试。结果表明，该原型的反应类似于实际人类颈部。还根据实验室测试结果概述了未来的改进措施，以实现更精确的反应。
